Serum soluble fibrinogen-like protein 2 concentration predicts delirium after acute pancreatitis.

Objective: Inflammation can cause delirium. Soluble fibrinogen-like protein 2 (sFGL2) is a modulator of the immune response and more recently found to be a biomarker for brain injury. This study was designed to discover the predictive capability of serum sFGL2 concentrations for delirium after acute pancreatitis (AP).
